I vaguely remember reading something about clearance issues with the
severn
tunnel wrt overhead wires.

There is no OHLE clearance issue in the Severn Tunnel. *If there was, they
wouldn't be wiring through to Cardiff, would they?

Wouldn't they? You tell me. There were plenty of gauge issues with containers
around the country but they sorted that so why would this be an issue
other than money?

ISTR the Severn Tunnel had very severe damp problems.
